But now as i am looking for change..i am not ablet o find out what exactly the companies require from SAP HR testers and how can i seriously prepare for it..
thanks in advance,
Jo

Hi,
First decide What kind of tester you wanna become.
1 Black box tester
2 White box tester
As per your mail you are a blak box tester. As a black box tester it is not necessary to learn business process somthing bhla bhla... Even some some companies won't recomend the person who have the knowledge of business process as black box tester. coz if the person knows it loads of assumpitons will be there.
If you want to become white box tester. you need more exposure in technicaity l and functionality of HCM. You better plan according and learn. You can reach it in long term.
Warm Regards

How to ger through SAP HCM certification test?

Hi friends,
I have to take SAP HCM certification exam on 29th july. kindly provide some tips and advice to get through it.
Mukesh Suman

Hi,
I feel certification is about complete remembering of the 4 books which SAP provides.
Some tips while answering the questions is try to answer those questions first which you are 80-100 % sure.
Then answer the rest questions.
Everyone told me if you give 3-5 contnous wromg answers and submit them you will not certify.
Thus be sure to give continous right answers by answering the once you are completely sure.
On the type of questions part :
1. Employee subgrou grouping personnel subarea grouping questions are a must, e.g To which of the below personnel subare grouping can be done a) Work schedule b)Basic pay etc
2. Holiday Calendar- Moving Holiday and non-moving holiday-Types of Holidays
3.On Basic pay Infotype- Payscale groups and levels fundamentals
4. Wagetype characteristics table, each field be sure
5. Indirect evaluation INVAL A, B.,C,D-PRZNT, SUMME
6.Features : ABKRS,NUMKR,- and remember all features in the book must be around 15
7. Work schedule generation steps
8. Time Evaluation Types- In IT 0007 you have the types
9. Positive time - which of the below are true for positive time
10.Negative time - same question
11. Payroll area ; 1 scenario with different dates and frequency, suggest how many payrolll areas.( Draw diagram in a paper like circles and suggest how many)
12.Solution Manager: Try to get 100 % in this area. This is very small section in the book.
13. Personnel actions definition
14. Definition of all components of Personnel structure and Enterprise structure
15. Definition of schema
Basically all topics in the book 1 question.
Remeber in certficatin ther are no queries on the table Names like t512d in general. All they ask is concepts and fundamentals.
For this remebering the book is very important.
All the best and relax. When u see the first question don't start feeling you dont know, keep a positive mindset and high concentration you will get through.

PI 7.1 enterprise services: How to find & invoke SAP HCM enterprise Service

Hi all,
in PI 7.1, i read, there is support of enterprice services.
is my current understandings right about PI 7.1 and enterprise services:
1.the standard BAPIs, standard RFC that were provided in R/3 are replaced by standard enterprise services in SAP ECC.
2.a nonSAP application can invoke an enterprise service in the same way as a nonSAP application used to call an RFC in the R/3.
I want to view how an enterprise service of any SAP module can be called by a nonSAP applicaiton.
are there any doc or blog which shows this.
is possible with/wihout PI.
We have follwoing things installed.
1. PI 7.1 SP4.
2. SAP ECC 6.0, i am dealing with SAP HCM module.
are there any enterprise services of HCM available (e.g standard enterprise services given by SAP for HCM module).
basically i want to test whether a nonSAP application like a java application, can it get some info using standard HCM enterprise services provided by SAP.
I explored esWorkplace (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace), but it does not display HCM related process components under the column "DISCOVER ENTERPRISE SERVICES".
thanks,
Madhu.

To implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
I have SAP ECC 6.0 system already implemented 2 years back.
I am planning to implement SAP HCM with OM, PA, SAP Time management, SAP PAYROLL in existing SAP ECC 6.0 system.
I have currently 3 system landscape for SAP ECC.
I would like to know what change/addition is required in above landscape to implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0
Do share your view.

Hi.
As per you, Already designed Landscape. Why dont you follow you existing Landscape which is alredy proved for other modules.
Normally Dev/Quality/Production clients will there..
If more that depends upon flexibility in Each client and defining different business for testing and production interfaces purpose.
Better use Existing only remaining modules already sucessfully running in Production Right????

Request you all kindly update with your desired suggestions.

Abhinav Chandra

Hi Abhinav,
First I am very glad to hear that you have sound domain knowldge in HR. So for a person like you SAP Implementation experience will be fantastic advantage. Off course if you wanna do certification on SAP HCM that you can always do but for a person like you who has already sound domain knowldge if you add SAP HCM Implementation experienece in your bucket you are done.
You know the respective HR Processes so thats a big advantage. However following steps would be good for you:
Participate in Requirement Gathering workshop
Participate in Design Process and finalise the design
Try to know the SAP Configuration to some extent
Involve in SAP HCM Process testing
Good amount of involvement in SAP Authorisation issues as well.
Thanks & Regards

SAP HCM Life Cycle

Hi Expert,
Can anyone help me with the life cycle stages of SAP HCM.
I have a student who asked me what is the concept of SAP HCM, I explained about where was it started, what is the architecture, why is SAP preferred against other applications, modules covered, logic of integration... I would like to know if I am missing on anything as far as Concept is concerned.
Thank you in Advance.
Sejal

Hi,
There is nothing as such called lifecycle of SAP HCM.
It is similar to an ERP application, and basically your organization first decides which of the ERP module they are going to implement, once they have decided to go for HCM, they wil opt for it.
Again in HCM it depens on customer which module he is going to implement and HCM is vast it inlcudes PA, OM, TIME, PAYROLL, BENFITS, TRAVEL MANAGEMENT, LSO, Performance management, HR Forms and Processes etc.
This implmentation has a life cycle - like
Requirement gathering, Blue printing, Realization, implementatin (Configuration and coding), Custom implemenation, Integration if required, Testing (includes, UT, SIT and User acceptance testing), Documentation and hence Go Live.
This is a huge process and requires domain / business / technical/ functional / Quality / Knowledge experts.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks & Regards, Swapnil Mishra

SAP HCM Career?

I have undergone training of SAP HCM 6.0 from Genovate (Authorised Education partner of SAP) in 2008 , but didn't certified, can I
go for internship or can I get a job as a trainee without certification.
Experts,please advice as well as guide me.

Hi Ravi,
You can definitely get certified but you have to remember that getting certified is not just the passport to enter in to the SAP Consultant position in any organisation as they interview candidates based on their process knowledge, sap configuration knowledge, testing knowledge etc. You can say certification is a plus but not a prerequisite. Prerequisite is somebody who has already some sap experience at his/her kitty.
The way you get experience is by working and using sap application on a day to day basis where you learn how you are executing the sap transactions to achieve the respective business processes within the organisation.
You are welcome to ask me any clarification that you need for this and you can also connect with me in linkedin.
Thank you very much.
Thanks & Regards

I also want to know at what level the toughness of the questions are asked in certification weather it is direct questions/tricky questions or just basics questions.

Currently I have four materials THR10_1, THR10_2, THR12_1 & THR12_2, is that there will be direct questions from this materials.
I want to pass the certification.
Can anyone please help me out.

Kunal Sinha

Hi Kunal
I was going through the questions online, some of them are easy ones and some of them require hands-on experience in SAP HCM,
I am new to SAP HCM and planning to write the SAP HCM exam soon, The online sample questions for SAP HCM are mostly based on the practical knowledge of configuration, is there a book available through which I can practice real case scenarios so that I can have better understanding of SAP HCM to give the exam. Any suggestions and exam related info is appreciated.
Please reply.
Thanks so much

Obtaining the list of data interfaced out of SAP HCM

Hello,
we got a good challenge from our partners in the business organization that we support. The Data Privacy officer on the business partner side would like to know:
- what other systems are "takers" of the data from our SAP HCM instance
- what data pieces (what tables, fields...) are being interfaced out
- what is the frequency of that
We are trying to maintain the document whenever a new interface is being built but in practice you know how it looks like.In order to have 100% confidence in the anwser I would want to pull such list from the system. Is there a way to do that? What would you suggest?
Regards,
Pawel

Try the function below, pass the item name and get the Data provider for that particular item, you will have to do this for all the items in the template.
function getDPName(item){
     prop = SAPBWGetItemProp(item);
     var tableHidden=true;
     if (prop != null){
       for(i=1;i<prop.length;i++){
         if (prop<i>[0] == "DATA_PROVIDER")
               return prop<i>[1]
       }//end for
     }//end if
}//end function
Thanks.

Dear All,what are the major issues in implementation in sap hcm

what are the major issues in implementation in SAP HCM project scope is PA ,OM,TIME, INDIA PAYROLL

Hi Ramjan,
Try to have a clear understanding of requirements and find the best solution in SAP. Keep as much as possible everything standard and based on SAP best practices.
In PA look for a comprehensive enterprise structure. It's base for everything.
DON"T do anything through development(ABAP code) as much as possible specially in PT and PY. Try to do claculation by PCRs and Schema.

Integrating SuccessFactors PMS solution With SAP HCM without saving any employee master data in SF

Hi Friends,
We’re implementing SuccessFactors’s Performance Management Solution only at one of the client location in Saudi Arabia and trying to integrate with the On-Premise SAP HCM and Push the employee data to SF.
However, due to security concerns customer doesn’t want to store any data on SucessFactors cloud solution to run the PMS cycle.
During the purchase of license for SuccessFactors SAP has demonstrated client that, in SF a unique Id will be created for each employee, which will not be the actual UserID(PERNR)from SAP, and with this unique ID actual employee data will be tagged/linked in SF which will fetch the data from SAP On-Premise system to run the PMS cycle. Once the user logins in SF, based on the unique ID data will fetch from SAP On-Premise system to SF on a real time basis and when the user logged out from the SF system, data should be cleared/deleted and nothing will be saved or stored in SF with respect to employee Master Data.
I understand SAP has provided the standard add-on for the Employee Data Scenario between SuccessFactors and SAP HCM, which could have been leveraged here for integration using PI, however with the above limitation this solution is absolutely out of scope.
Please advice, is there any solution where with PI if we can achieve the above requirement of client.
Thanks,
Farhan
